His research focuses on the interplay between innovation, policy, and institutional frameworks in shaping long-term industrial trajectories. Over the past decade, his work has increasingly centered around sustainability-driven industrial transformation, investigating the critical roles that climate imperatives and circular economy principles play in effecting change within various sectors. He has conducted empirical studies on eco-innovations and low-carbon transitions, particularly regarding how supply chains in capital-intensive industries can be reconfigured for sustainability.
